IME, and in the opinion of most good machinists I've asked, a ball hone isn't worth the price of the material it's made of. Use a real hone, or go home. If you must do this, be sure you thoroughly flush and scrub the cylinder with HOT soapy water. A toilet brush works fine here. That goes for all honing, BTW. The Cap'n
